A spokesperson for Odeon said: “Price choices vary and flex depending on a number of factors including seat type and location in the auditorium, what we’re showing, time of day, and the number of people booking at one time.

“The first week of the biggest film of the year during the festive season is obviously peak, and guests can expect prices will flex throughout the year.”

The cinema added that the prices are cheaper if you sign up for one of Odeon’s Limitless cards; the membership costs £19.99 a month for London cinemas, costing £5 extra per visit for Luxe recliner seats.
